The right size planter or basket should be correctly sized. The planter is functioning as a stable base for the artificial plant or tree. It should be similar to the requirements of a live tree that must be large enough for the root ball and appropriate to the size of the tree. An oversized planter is more realistic and more desirable than an undersized one.The container must also serve as a stable base so the plant or tree doesn’t topple when accidentally brushed or fall when moved. For extra stability, weights should be added to the foam inside the planter.
